Notes
The Chevrolet Corvette C6 Grand Sport revived the legendary Grand Sport nameplate for 2010-2013 model years, combining Z06's widebody chassis and enhanced cooling systems with base LS3 6.2L V8 producing 430 horsepower at 5,900rpm and 424 lb-ft torque at 4,600rpm. Introduced as bridge between base Corvette and track-focused Z06, the Grand Sport offered Z06's wider rear fenders providing four-inch greater track width, larger brakes with dual-piston front calipers, functional brake cooling ducts, and revised suspension geometry improving cornering capability while maintaining daily drivability with automatic transmission availability. Weighing approximately 3,220 pounds, the Grand Sport delivered exceptional performance envelope achieving 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds with manual transmission and quarter-mile times around 12.3 seconds, while enhanced chassis dynamics enabled lateral acceleration exceeding 1.0g on street tires. Available in both coupe and convertible body styles with six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, Grand Sport distinguished itself through heritage graphics package offering dual racing stripes and fender hash marks paying homage to original 1963 Grand Sport race cars, though stripes remained optional allowing understated appearance. Performance upgrades included dry-sump oiling system shared with Z06, differential cooler enabling sustained track use, and Magnetic Selective Ride Control adaptive dampers optimizing handling across varied driving conditions. Interior appointments mirrored base Corvette with optional Competition Sport seats providing enhanced lateral support during spirited driving, while extensive option packages allowed personalization ranging from touring comfort to track-ready configurations. The Grand Sport targeted enthusiasts desiring Z06 handling characteristics without supercar power delivery, offering more accessible performance threshold while maintaining Corvette's trademark feedback and engagement. Production totaled approximately 16,000 units across four model years before C6 generation concluded 2013, positioning Grand Sport as final evolution of sixth-generation platform before C7's radical redesign. Today C6 Grand Sport examples command strong collector interest as last front-engine Corvette generation before mid-engine C8 fundamentally altered platform architecture, particularly manual transmission Heritage Package specimens combining performance hardware with iconic livery honoring Corvette's racing heritage.
